The U.S. military has introduced Ukrainian counterdrone technology in recent weeks at a key U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia, according to five people with knowledge of the matter, as it seeks to stem attacks that have destroyed aircraft and buildings, and killed at least one service member.
The deployment of a Ukrainian command-and-control platform called Sky Map at Prince Sultan Air Base is a sign of how Ukraine¡¯s military has surged ahead in drone and counterdrone technologies that have been ?battle-hardened in its four-year war with Russia.
